Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant, which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts. The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.
As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history, this Frenchman is currently savoring his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here. “Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.
The Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, are considered “the cradle of Tai Chi” and are home to numerous palaces and temples that show the wisdom and beauty of ancient China’s architecture. In 2004, to treat his body after an accident, Verlant moved here to learn Chinese martial arts, and gradually fell in love with martial arts as well as Wudang’s culture. For him, it all started when his French-language student, who was a local tour guide, aroused his interest in local culture. For years, he volunteered as a foreign-language interpreter and tour guide in the Wudang Mountains, sharing Wudang’s culture with tourists from across the world. During the past two decades, he has witnessed and experienced the rapid development of this mountainous region. “When I first arrived in Wudang, there was neither the high-speed railway nor the shuttle bus, and many foreigners didn’t know how to come here, ” he recalled.
The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him. “I learned a lot about Wudang from Marc, and his positive attitude toward life also influenced me to be more outgoing and energetic,”said his wife, who is a native of Shiyan City, where the Wudang Mountains are located.
4. Why does the author mention the decorations of a house
A. To sing the praises of traditional Chinese artifacts.
B. To highlight its owner’s insights into Chinese art.
C. To show its owner’s passion for Chinese culture.
D. To suggest the perfectly-matched decorating style.
5. What does the underlined word “savoring” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Adjusting. B. Exploring. C. Rebuilding. D. Enjoying.
6. What can we learn about Verlant’s life after 2004
A. He worked as a tour guide while teaching.
B. He contributed to the promotion of Wudang’s culture.
C. He became energetic under the influence of martial arts.
D. He offered great help to the development of the local economy.
7 What is the text mainly about
A. A tourist attraction—Wudang.
B. An encounter with martial arts.
C A journey of intercultural communication.
D. A French enthusiast of Wudang’s culture.

China has put in place a new policy that limits online video game playing for young people to three hours a week. The new rules restrict online gaming for those under the age of 18 to one hour on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays. They were announced by General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), which is responsible for regulating video games. The new rules place the responsibility for carrying out the policy on the gaming industry. The limits don’t include punishments for individual gamers.
China is the world’s largest video gaming market. Chinese media reported that about 63% of Chinese minors (未成年人) often play online games. About 13%of underage mobile game users are believed to play them for more than two hours a day on weekdays. The Chinese government has worried for years about young people becoming addicted to games. Treatment centers have been set up for people thought to have developed “gaming disorders”.
The first government restrictions took effect in 2019. Those rules limited minors to one hour and a half of gaming time a day and three hours on weekends. The policy also limited the amount of money minors could spend on virtual items in gaming each month. The limit ranged from $28 to $57, depending on the age of the gamer.
Current rules require minors to use their real names and national ID numbers when they are signing in to play. Gaming companies created systems to identify minors. However, many young gamers found ways to avoid the requirement, such as signing in under the names of adult family members. Therefore, the GAPP said online gaming companies would have to prove they had effective identification systems in place. Measures will be taken to make sure they follow the new limits. The agency said it would also increase punishment for gaming companies not following the rules.
Some young Chinese gamers criticized the new rules on social media. Some parents, however, told the news agency that they supported the new limits.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Minors addicted to online games may get punished.
B. Minors can only have access to online games on holidays.
C. The new policy forbids minors from playing online games.
D. Gaming industry plays a vital role in conducting the policy.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To promote the spread of the new rules.
B. To express the concern about online gaming.
C. To offer the background of the new policy.
D. To arouse public awareness of minors’ health.
10. Why does the gaming industry need to strengthen the identification system
A. A few gaming companies tend to break the rules.
B. Some minors may register with adults’ ID numbers.
C. Adult family members may conduct illegal operations.
D. The existing regulation has no effect on the minors’ addiction.
11. How do some young Chinese gamers feel about the new policy
A. Disturbed. B. Relaxed. C. Frightened. D. Calmed.
D
When we don’t regularly get enough sleep on weeknights, many of us hope to repay our sleep debt by sleeping late on weekends. Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep increases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.
A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder set out to find how a weekend of recovery sleep may influence an individual’s health. The study focused on 36 healthy young adults, who were divided into three groups. The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wanted over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples’ eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.
Compared to people who slept normally, those who only slept 5 hours a night snacked more after dinner and gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study. Their bodies’ sensitivity to insulin decreased by 13% over the two-week period. People in the third group experienced some mild improvement during the weekend: they were less likely to snack at night during the recovery period. But those benefits died out when they returned to their weekday sleep-restricted schedule. They also gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study and experienced a 27% decrease in insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline levels in women but not in men.
The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic(新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the damage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions.
12. How did the researchers arrive at their conclusions.
A. By comparing experiment data.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By collecting people’s sleep records.
D. By interviewing healthy young adults.
13. What can we learn from the results of the study
A. Recovery sleep contributed to less weight gain.
B. Less food was eaten after the recovery period.
C. Sex differences were observed in recovery sleep.
D. Insulin sensitivity got higher in most of the people.
14. Which of the following is the focus of future studies
A. The effective measures against sleep loss.
B. The sleep study among various age groups.
C. The damage of sleep loss to metabolic health.
D. The specific effects of recovery sleep strategies.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why is weekend catch-up sleep important
B. Sleep debt on weekends can be paid back.
C. Why does sleep loss affect metabolic health
D. Weekend lie-ins don’t make up for sleep loss.

Summer was almost here. I wanted to go to Pine View Camp with my friends but my parents wanted me to go to Hilltown Community Camp. Hilltown Community Camp wouldn’t need much money but it was poor.
Mom tried to cheer me up. “When Dad starts his new job, it’ll be better,” she promised. “We’ll be able to do more of the things you want to do.” But I was still unhappy. When Grandpa Mike knew what was going on, he asked me to go with him to do Give-back Time.

Together we walked to the Family Togetherness Home. I felt a little uncomfortable when we got there. Some of the people wore strange clothes. They looked tired. It frightened me a little to be around people who seemed so different from me. But Grandpa smiled and said hello to everyone as if they were old friends of his. “We’re here to help these people, Izzy,”he told me. “Today we’re going to help by passing out the food.”
Grandpa Mike talked with the people in charge of the volunteers. He introduced me and told them I wanted to help out. “What am I supposed to do ” I asked Grandpa. He brought me over to the counter. A volunteer was spooning out soup into bowls there. “Help bring soup to people in need,” Grandpa said. I looked around and saw a girl who was smaller than me. She sat in the corner. Her clothes were old. She rocked back and forth with a sad look on her face.
Grandpa saw where I was looking. He handed me a bowl of soup. “Why don’t you bring that pretty girl some soup ” he said. “Maybe it will cheer her up.” I took the bowl.

Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts. The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.
As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history, this Frenchman is currently savoring his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here. “Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.
The Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, are considered “the cradle of Tai Chi” and are home to numerous palaces and temples that show the wisdom and beauty of ancient China’s architecture. In 2004, to treat his body after an accident, Verlant moved here to learn Chinese martial arts, and gradually fell in love with martial arts as well as Wudang’s culture. For him, it all started when his French-language student, who was a local tour guide, aroused his interest in local culture. For years, he volunteered as a foreign-language interpreter and tour guide in the Wudang Mountains, sharing Wudang’s culture with tourists from across the world. During the past two decades, he has witnessed and experienced the rapid development of this mountainous region. “When I first arrived in Wudang, there was neither the high-speed railway nor the shuttle bus, and many foreigners didn’t know how to come here, ” he recalled.
The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him. “I learned a lot about Wudang from Marc, and his positive attitude toward life also influenced me to be more outgoing and energetic,”said his wife, who is a native of Shiyan City, where the Wudang Mountains are located.
4. Why does the author mention the decorations of a house
A. To sing the praises of traditional Chinese artifacts.
B. To highlight its owner’s insights into Chinese art.
C. To show its owner’s passion for Chinese culture.
D. To suggest the perfectly-matched decorating style.
5. What does the underlined word “savoring” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Adjusting. B. Exploring. C. Rebuilding. D. Enjoying.
6. What can we learn about Verlant’s life after 2004
A. He worked as a tour guide while teaching.
B. He contributed to the promotion of Wudang’s culture.
C. He became energetic under the influence of martial arts.
D. He offered great help to the development of the local economy.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A tourist attraction—Wudang.
B. An encounter with martial arts.
C. A journey of intercultural communication.
D. A French enthusiast of Wudang’s culture.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D

China has put in place a new policy that limits online video game playing for young people to three hours a week. The new rules restrict online gaming for those under the age of 18 to one hour on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays. They were announced by General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), which is responsible for regulating video games. The new rules place the responsibility for carrying out the policy on the gaming industry. The limits don’t include punishments for individual gamers.
China is the world’s largest video gaming market. Chinese media reported that about 63% of Chinese minors (未成年人) often play online games. About 13%of underage mobile game users are believed to play them for more than two hours a day on weekdays. The Chinese government has worried for years about young people becoming addicted to games. Treatment centers have been set up for people thought to have developed “gaming disorders”.
The first government restrictions took effect in 2019. Those rules limited minors to one hour and a half of gaming time a day and three hours on weekends. The policy also limited the amount of money minors could spend on virtual items in gaming each month. The limit ranged from $28 to $57, depending on the age of the gamer.
Current rules require minors to use their real names and national ID numbers when they are signing in to play. Gaming companies created systems to identify minors. However, many young gamers found ways to avoid the requirement, such as signing in under the names of adult family members. Therefore, the GAPP said online gaming companies would have to prove they had effective identification systems in place. Measures will be taken to make sure they follow the new limits. The agency said it would also increase punishment for gaming companies not following the rules.
Some young Chinese gamers criticized the new rules on social media. Some parents, however, told the news agency that they supported the new limits.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. Minors addicted to online games may get punished.
B. Minors can only have access to online games on holidays.
C. The new policy forbids minors from playing online games.
D. Gaming industry plays a vital role in conducting the policy.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To promote the spread of the new rules.
B. To express the concern about online gaming.
C. To offer the background of the new policy.
D. To arouse public awareness of minors’ health.
10. Why does the gaming industry need to strengthen the identification system
A. A few gaming companies tend to break the rules.
B. Some minors may register with adults’ ID numbers.
C. Adult family members may conduct illegal operations.
D. The existing regulation has no effect on the minors’ addiction.
11. How do some young Chinese gamers feel about the new policy
A. Disturbed. B. Relaxed. C. Frightened. D. Calmed.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述中国出台了一项新政策，将年轻人每周玩网络视频游戏的时间限制在三小时以内。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“The new rules place the responsibility for carrying out the policy on the gaming industry. The limits don’t include punishments for individual gamers.(新规定将执行该政策的责任推给了游戏行业。限制不包括对个别玩家的惩罚。)”可知，游戏行业在执行该政策方面发挥着至关重要的作用。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“China is the world’s largest video gaming market. Chinese media reported that about 63% of Chinese minors(未成年人)often play online games. About 13%of underage mobile game users are believed to play them for more than two hours a day on weekdays. The Chinese government has worried for years about young people becoming addicted to games. Treatment centers have been set up for people thought to have developed ‘gaming disorders’.(中国是世界上最大的视频游戏市场。中国媒体报道称，约63%的中国未成年人经常玩网络游戏。据信，约13%的未成年手机游戏用户在工作日每天玩两个小时以上。多年来，中国政府一直担心年轻人沉迷于游戏。已经为被认为患有‘游戏障碍’的人设立了治疗中心。)”可知，第二段主要提供新政策的背景。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“However, many young gamers found ways to avoid the requirement, such as signing in under the names of adult family members. Therefore, the GAPP said online gaming companies would have to prove they had effective identification systems in place. Measures will be taken to make sure they follow the new limits. (然而，许多年轻玩家找到了避免这一要求的方法，比如以成年家庭成员的名义登录。因此，新闻出版总署表示，在线游戏公司必须证明他们有有效的身份识别系统。将采取措施确保他们遵守新的限制。)”可知，一些未成年人可能会使用成年人的身份证号码进行注册，从而逃避新政策。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Some young Chinese gamers criticized the new rules on social media. Some parents, however, told the news agency that they supported the new limits.(一些年轻的中国游戏玩家在社交媒体上批评了新规则。然而，一些家长告诉新闻社，他们支持新的限制。)”可知，一些年轻的中国游戏玩家对新政策感到不安。故选A项。

When we don’t regularly get enough sleep on weeknights, many of us hope to repay our sleep debt by sleeping late on weekends. Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep increases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.
A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder set out to find how a weekend of recovery sleep may influence an individual’s health. The study focused on 36 healthy young adults, who were divided into three groups. The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wanted over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples’ eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.
Compared to people who slept normally, those who only slept 5 hours a night snacked more after dinner and gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study. Their bodies’ sensitivity to insulin decreased by 13% over the two-week period. People in the third group experienced some mild improvement during the weekend: they were less likely to snack at night during the recovery period. But those benefits died out when they returned to their weekday sleep-restricted schedule. They also gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study and experienced a 27% decrease in insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline levels in women but not in men.
The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic(新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the damage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions.
12. How did the researchers arrive at their conclusions.
A. By comparing experiment data.
B. By referring to previous studies.
C. By collecting people’s sleep records.
D. By interviewing healthy young adults.
13. What can we learn from the results of the study
A. Recovery sleep contributed to less weight gain.
B. Less food was eaten after the recovery period.
C. Sex differences were observed in recovery sleep.
D. Insulin sensitivity got higher in most of the people.
14. Which of the following is the focus of future studies
A. The effective measures against sleep loss.
B. The sleep study among various age groups.
C. The damage of sleep loss to metabolic health.
D. The specific effects of recovery sleep strategies.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why is weekend catch-up sleep important
B. Sleep debt on weekends can be paid back.
C. Why does sleep loss affect metabolic health
D. Weekend lie-ins don’t make up for sleep loss.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，该研究认为一周睡眠缺失所带来的影响不能通过周末的睡眠来补偿。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wanted over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples’ eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.”（第一组连续9天每晚都有充足的睡眠，而第二组连续9天每晚只睡5小时。第三组人连续5个晚上只睡5个小时，周末想睡多少就睡多少，然后又开始两天有限的睡眠。所有人的饮食模式、体重增加和胰岛素敏感性的变化都被全程跟踪。）可知，研究者通过跟踪、分析不同睡眠时间小组成员的饮食模式、体重增加和胰岛素敏感性的变化来获得结论。可推知，研究者采用了分析比较研究数据的方法。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline levels in women but not in men.”（此外，在周末，女性的总睡眠时间比男性低，能量摄入减少到基线水平，但男性没有。）可知，在研究中研究者得出的结论存在着男女性别差异。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic(新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the damage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions.”（该研究表明，周末恢复性睡眠不太可能是代谢健康的有效措施。未来，研究团队的目标是进一步探索补觉，包括白天午睡，是否能完全改变睡眠不足的损害，如果能，在什么情况下能在多大程度上改变睡眠不足的损害。）可知，在未来研究团队的目标是进一步探索补偿性睡眠，以及在什么情况下能在多大程度上改变睡眠不足；所以接下来研究的重点是恢复性睡眠策略的具体效果。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep increases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.”（科学家此前发现，睡眠不足会增加超重的风险。然而，目前尚不清楚周末多睡是否能平衡收支，防止这种增长。）提出周末多睡是否能平衡平时睡眠不足。第二段“The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic(新陈代谢) health.”（该研究表明，周末恢复性睡眠不太可能是代谢健康的有效措施。）说明的是研究结果：睡眠缺失不能通过睡眠周末睡眠补偿。所以文章最佳标题为D项“周末睡懒觉并不能弥补睡眠不足”。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Summer was almost here. I wanted to go to Pine View Camp with my friends but my parents wanted me to go to Hilltown Community Camp. Hilltown Community Camp wouldn’t need much money but it was poor.
Mom tried to cheer me up. “When Dad starts his new job, it’ll be better,” she promised. “We’ll be able to do more of the things you want to do.” But I was still unhappy. When Grandpa Mike knew what was going on, he asked me to go with him to do Give-back Time.
The next day, Grandpa picked me up on his way to the Family Togetherness Home. He told me recently he had been doing Give-back Time at the Family Togetherness Home. He explained, “It’s a place where parents and kids stay when they don’t have any money or any place else to live.”
Together we walked to the Family Togetherness Home. I felt a little uncomfortable when we got there. Some of the people wore strange clothes. They looked tired. It frightened me a little to be around people who seemed so different from me. But Grandpa smiled and said hello to everyone as if they were old friends of his. “We’re here to help these people, Izzy,”he told me. “Today we’re going to help by passing out the food.”
Grandpa Mike talked with the people in charge of the volunteers. He introduced me and told them I wanted to help out. “What am I supposed to do ” I asked Grandpa. He brought me over to the counter. A volunteer was spooning out soup into bowls there. “Help bring soup to people in need,” Grandpa said. I looked around and saw a girl who was smaller than me. She sat in the corner. Her clothes were old. She rocked back and forth with a sad look on her face.
Grandpa saw where I was looking. He handed me a bowl of soup. “Why don’t you bring that pretty girl some soup ” he said. “Maybe it will cheer her up.” I took the bowl.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Slowly, I walked towards the girl and didn’t know what I should say to her.

“I want to do Give-back Time with you again and give that girl some of my clothes,” I told Grandpa.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Slowly, I walked towards the girl and didn’t know what I should say to her. Just when I wanted to turn around, the girl said, “Hi! You can eat your soup here by me!” “No! I’m a volunteer. I brought this for you,” I explained. I put the bowl of soup down in front of her and quickly walked back to Grandpa. While serving others food, I looked back at the girl. She was rocking again with that same sad look. After returning home, I just couldn’t forget about that poor girl.
“I want to do Give-back Time with you again and give that girl some of my clothes,” I told Grandpa. “I’m pleased,” Grandpa said. I told my mom what I wanted to do. She thought that was a wonderful idea. Then, I busily picked out the clothes that could suit the girl. On Sunday, when we went to the Family Togetherness Home again, I walked towards the girl and handed her the bag of clothes. Learning what were inside, she smiled and said, “Thank you!” After that day, I visited her a few times and saw she wore my clothes. That summer, I understood one should be glad about what she already had.
